How does the size of the sample influence the outcome of a hypothesis test?
Statistical Methods for Psychology 1. A random sample of N = 25 individuals is selected from a population with μ = 20, anda treatment is administered to each individual in the sample. After treatment, the samplemean is found to be X = 22.2 with SS = 384. Based on the sample data, does the treatmenthave […]

What happens to the width of the confidence interval as sample size increases?
Statistical Methods for Psychology1. Suppose we are sampling from a population that is known to be normal with standard devi-ation σ = 10. However, the mean μ is unknown, so we’ll have to estimate it. (a) A sample of N = 9 is drawn and is found to have mean X = 25. Compute a […]
